Webster Reservoir Fishing Report - Updated: 11/19/2024
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crappie | Fair | 7 to 17 inches | Would recommend fishing around the north and south shore breakwaters and fish attractors using jigs, slab spoons and jigs with minnows. |
| Walleye | Fair | 14 to 28 inches | Would recommend fishing for them just outside the maintained fish attractors using jigs and slab spoons. Trolling diving lures along the dam and river channel could also be productive. |
| White Bass/Wiper | Good | 8 to 28 inches | Both species are being caught around the north and south shore fish attractors and breakwaters using jigs and jigs tipped with minnow. Trolling diving lures lake wide could also be productive. |
| Catfish | Fair | 12 to 30 inches | Catfish are being caught around the broken up concrete ramp on the north side and Goose Flats using shad, shrimp, gizzards, or stink baits on the bottom. |
| Largemouth Bass | Fair | 12 to 22 inches | Fish are being caught around the maintained fish attractors and breakwaters using plastics and spinner baits. |
